Work *Play* Earth Day Volunteer Workday

Description

Join the Friends of Potawatomi State Park in prepping the park for spring! Volunteers are needed to help with seasonal clean-up of playgrounds, campgrounds, picnic areas, and trails. Activities may include litter pick up, removing downed sticks and branches, blowing and raking leaves, painting, pressure washing, and other maintenance activities. Water and snacks will be provided by the Friends of Potawatomi State Park. Volunteers should wear long pants, sturdy footwear, and gloves. Some hand tools will be provided, but volunteers may also bring their own shovels, rakes, and other hand tools. Children must be accompanied by an adult. No pets, please. Park admission waived while volunteering. Meet at the shelter by the campground on Shoreline Road.     

Still have some energy after volunteering? Consider registering for Run for the Trees: Happy Little 5K. Runners, walkers, hikers, and rollers can complete their 5K anywhere outdoors anytime between April 22-28. Potawatomi State Park is a great place to complete your 5K. Race proceeds support tree planting and forest protection efforts in state parks.
